Coeur D'alene

She was on her way home had to detour away
 Just to keep all the wolves at bay
 Just a couple of hundred feet from the place she called home
 On the quiet streets of Coeur d'Alene
 But the wolves they were hungry and the fire trucks rolled by
 Like they always done before
 And she never felt the earth shake from the jaw to the quay
 'til she found that note on her door
 It's just hard to feel alone
 It's just hard to feel alone
 Her friend Debbie well she moved down to Houston
 On the wrong end of a ball and chain
 And she misses her friends and the love they'd lend
 On the quiet streets of Coeur d'Alene
 And her husband was a man with the softest hands
 And a love that he claimed was true
 But even the softest hands when clenched in fists of anger
 Will turn the most lilywhite skin blue
 It's just hard to feel alone
 It's just hard to feel alone
 Me I'm still rambling
 Yeah out here gambling
 And mostly in the fast lane
 But I'd be lying if I said
 I didn't miss my friends
 And the quiet streets of Coeur d'Alene
 But we all got a passion
 Carry out in a fashion
 Might not keep the wolves at bay
 But they hunt me in the lights
 And then howl in the night
 While i try hard to make my way
 It's just hard to feel alone
 It's just hard to feel alone
 It's just hard to feel alone
 It's just hard to feel alone
 Something to be said about the place you were raised
 If it's a small town like Coeur d'Alene
